Boston College High baseball coach Norm Walsh — Boston Herald

As first reported by the Boston Herald, Longtime Boston (Mass.) Boston College High baseball coach Norm Walsh was suspended for the remainder of the 2012 season because of a contentious argument with an unspecified BC High player which allegedly moved into the realm of "inappropriate language."

"Norm has been suspended for the remainder of the baseball season for inappropriate language," BC High athletic director Jon Bartlett told the Herald.

No further details about Walsh's actions or his future have been revealed, but Bartlett did disclose that Walsh's assistant coach John Lynch would take over the team for the final regular-season game and the forthcoming state playoffs.
